(2011/11) Nov 2011 BTB

[the_moment]

My venue is at Pan Pac. =) I do agree with Black Angel that the entrance is v far from the stage.. Hopefully the screens will help. =)

Many brides are with Bluebay. Its v popular. I've seen my colleague's pics too.. But she went with Julia Wedding News. Nice scenery!

Are you gals selecting gowns in Feb/Mar? I heard this frm my BS and I thought its soooo soon cos its a long way to Nov.

 

[miraclez]

selecting gowns in feb/mar for photo shoots purposes or for AD?

 

[the_moment]

for photoshoot

 

[jgenesis]

For photoshoot album, is matt or glossy finish better? any comments? =)

 

[animelover]

SSAC: I'll be at Pan Pac on the same day as yours

Just that mine is at Hai Tien Lo and yours at ballroom.

 

[jgenesis]

Btw, i'm also a Nov 2011 BTB =) Great to be here =) Holding my banquet at Grand Park City Hall on 27 Nov 2011.

Will be having church wedding on 26 Nov though, and still looking around for a church venue as mine is not available on this date..tsk..

 

[the_moment]

Hi AL!! wow!! Same AD at the same venue! I am so excited to know you here! How many tables are you having at Hai Tien Lo? You know I heard from Ivan that they have a kitchen just for Banquets and he assured me that the chefs are from Hai Tien Lo.. I wonder how true this is..

Hehe.. I am wondering if the BTB holding her banquet at Pacific Ballroom will meet here in this forum too? tsk tsk.. Which BS are you with?

Hi Ojh, good luck on sourcing for a church venue!

 

[missv]

Ojh (jgenesis) > good luck on your search! i've just settled mine. =)

 

[jgenesis]

hi missv! Where did u rent for church wedding? I'm having probs finding one cos quite a number only rent out to members..

 

[katherine_26]

Hi, I am planning on 11.11.2011, anyone have the same date?

 

[bibao]

Hi Gals,

Anyone took ocean ballroom at PP? Is the ballroom ok if i will hit up til minimum 35 tables?

Kindly advise cos PP only have one date left which i can take. Sigh... So headache....

Thanks!!

 

[blackangel55]

Min: I've attended a wedding weekend lunch at PP ocean ballroom last year end. The ballroom is rectangular shaped, thus a long n narrow march-in. Was unable to see the stage as I was sitting at the far end near the entrance.If u hit up to 35 tables, I think the far end tables confirm cannot see the stage.

 

[animelover]

SSAC: I'm not taking any package from BS. Just simple fare, about 5 - 8 tables. Hopefully by then, MBS construction has completed, HTL has very nice view of SG Flyer and skyline at night.

Katherine: If you look carefully, there are a few members are doing it on 11.11.11.

 

[the_moment]

AL> I only managed to see the pic of the HTL view at the website. I can imagine it must look wonderful at night! =)

Min> PP is trying to get 3 screens in Ocean Ballroom so those guests at the back will be able to catch the action at the front. Not sure if this will help but you can get the most updated info from the coordinators.

 

[shanney]

my AD will be on 12.11.11 @ marina mandarin vanda ballroom!

my bridal studio is SB

 

[feliciakwoh]

Hi All

My AD will be on 20.11.2011.

Bandquet: Furama City Centre
Bridal Studio: Bliss Bridal Creations

I just called up Bliss Bridal today to inform them about my AD. They told me to visit them only in Apr 2011. Erm, is it the norm? I find it pretty late leh.

 

[the_moment]

Felicia> I have the same AD. BS told me to visit in Feb/Mar.

[miraclez]

those having their wedding on 20.11.2011, did your hotel jack up the banquet price?

 

[shanney]

hi SSAC, i've updated the excel file!

 

[feliciakwoh]

Hi Miraclez,

Mine at Furama City Centre. They did not jack up the bandquet price. I know some does like M Hotel, there is surcharge of $150 per table.

 

[happylilone]

SSAC: i've updated mine too!

 

[miumiulavie]

Yeap..Updated the sheet too.
Haven't decide on PG and VG and lots of things too...=(

 

[the_moment]

Miraclez > I was considering Mandarin Oriental. They charge $5k on top of the full banquet expenses! Eventually I dropped the idea of course =p

 

[the_moment]

I have just updated the file too. =)

Miumiu > we have the same AD and ROM date! How is Bridal Veil? I like the victorian-style gowns.

 

[miumiulavie]

SSAC : =) great to share the same dates!! it's memorable don't they...heeee
Bridal veil. hmmm i just sign with them, have yet to see my sketches... you? you're with bridal veil too?

 

[ee09]

[miraclez]

ee09, there's a lot of us who's doing on 20.11.2011 if you scroll up and read

 

[the_moment]

miumiu > I'm not with BV but heard favourable comments abt them and saw their gowns at a dinner. =) The first year anniversary is coming! =)

 

[miumiulavie]

SSAC: yeapie!!! how are you gonna celebrate your anniversary?
I'll be away for a short getaway at Banyan Tree Bintan.
Not sure about BV gowns, the HB loves their suit. so we're getting BV as a package.

 

[sapphire05]

HI all... Im also a Nov Bride.

AD: 11.11.11

Seemed like a lot of us marrying on 11.11.11 and 20.11.11

I chat mostly in the 2011 thread.

 

[miraclez]

[the_moment]

Sapphire > Do fill in your particulars here too. =) https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtcFLqUTS2JJdGNLQ3lKXzhYTGRTMG5Cc1EzMDJTelE&hl=en&authkey=CI7T6pIE

Miraclez > BV = Bridal Veil

Miumiu > wow.. Banyan Tree. Enjoy your stay! For us we're checking into a Boutique Hotel here =)

 

[sapphire05]

Hi SSAC.. Ive updated my details. Thanks.

 

[ee09]

any idea where can hold 45 tables on 20/11??? Most of the hotels cant hold so many tables...

 

[kitschykat]

SSAC: I've updated the excel sheet tooooo.

Katherine: Hello, I'm a 11-11 btb!

 

[sapphire05]

Hi ee09.... Hilton has a big ballroom that can fit up to 45, have you contacted them?

 

[animelover]

ee09: You can try Meritus Mandarin too. My organisation had an event there for more than 1,000 people.

 

[miumiulavie]

SSAC : i heard Boutique Hotel is very beautiful. how is it?
=)

 

[the_moment]

Miumiu > Went to Wangz Hotel. They started operations last Dec. V new hotel with only 41 Rooms. As it is small, they staff there remembered n addressed us both by our names and they were v attentive to our needs. The hotel is also quite high tech to me. =p one of the most surprising thing was, there was this vanity mirror in the bathroom that automatically lights up when u touch it and the reflection u see is hugely magnified. I gathered its for you to use when extracting pimples? ahahaha..

How's Banyan Tree? Must be romantic?

 

[miumiulavie]

SSAC : that sounds very nice! must be romantic for the two of you. the vanity mirror sounds amazing! heheheh =)

Banyan Tree was fantastic. It was a red-carpet feeling whenever we go. Highly recommend! They planned almost everything for us. A car was arranged to charter us whenever we go, and golf buggy to drive us within Banyan tree.

 

[miumiulavie]

SSAC : did you upload your pics in FB?

 

[ee09]

thanks all...Most of the places either book or can't accomodate so many tables...

Have to settle hse, have to settle banquet...

ANyone getting a wedding planner???

 

[miumiulavie]

ee09 : wedding planner? me too in the mist of thinking, and the forum has little information about wedding planner

 

[ee09]

Miumiu: wat I know is there r a few services tt they offer,

1) help u with everything since e beginning eg sourcing, purchasing, advising
2) help to plan e theme only
3) actual day coordinating

I do hav a coordinator for my actual day...

to engage a wedding planner means extra $$$ to fork out...

 

[irene83]

My AD is on 20.11.2011
Haven decided on BS... Keen to know more Fables, SG bridal or Venus.

[zixzy]

Hello everyone! I'm super new to this website and forum. Just wondering if there's any Nov 2011 BTB who has engaged a wedding planner? Any recommendations to offer?

 

[jessica_rabbit]

Dear All! anyone knows of any unconventional ROM locations where we can cater our own food? So far I was informed of the Pod @ National Library, ACM, SAM, Nat'l Museum..... Any other options I can look at?

 

[animelover]

Jessica R: How about Botanic Gardens?

 

[ee09]

wine affairs in Tras street...

Anyone going ala-carte?? Can care to share???

 

[jessica_rabbit]

Hi AL, other than Burkill Hall are there any other shaded/aircon venues? My crowd size is about 100-120
